If I can only get you Oceanside................

I have just finished watching the documentary EARTHLINGS. Narrated by Joaquim Pheonix. This is a film that documents with never before witnessed behind the scene footage of the abuse of animals on our planet in many forms, from puppy mills , to pigs, to chickens, to whales, to leather issues to god knows what else. This was so hard to watch, it made Schindlers list seem like a cartoon.

I love animals and it is horrendous what we are putting these creatures through and ruining our planet and karma in the process. We are all complicit as well. I don't want to preach, but perhaps I will never turn a blind eye again.

Somehow I wanted to turn my mind off to the idea of how can these thinking creatures just escape their fate. Then I was thinking about how can the starving in Darfur escape their fate with just pure intention and thought. Can they?

THE SECRET tells us that like attract like and that it is as simple as just wishing hard enough for something. I want a new bike. I want a new bike . And eventually you will receive. Is this the real lesson of the new millenium.

How about, i want nothing that somebody else cannot appreciate.
I believe in positive thinking and affirmations however. I know that I will be together with the person I have focused on for the last many 24hrs. However, how it will play out will depend on many factors between the two of us at the time. Let me leave that for a second.

If I suddenly say. I will marry Queen Noor of Jordan. I will Marry Queen Noor. Is there any chance that my will can get that actually done. Doubtful, but not impossible. Or, I want to be an astronaut at 60 years old. Possible, maybe, if I buy a large company and buy myself into space. Didn't work for the In sync guy, or did it?

The point .......Can the reality of the animals fate be stopped by a higher consciousness? Can the starving in Africa get food if we stop feeding so much grain to the cows for consumption? Can I make anything happen and marry this woman and have a life based on morals and intuition? Maybe, I suppose she will be surprised if I make it happen, modestly, and by the way, I believe I have to do a little more daily on a global scale to live with myself.

Mercury in Retrograde or the Days Of Omar

I was told at the Kabbalah site that the Days Of Omar are with us now. A time when it is hard to draw on the natural positive energy of the universe. Or in laymans terms, a time to watch out for many things falling apart. This would include your intentions, your certainty, your restrictions to your reactive nature. Another friend who is more into basic Astrology, told me that Mercury is in Retrograde. Or in laymans terms..it is actually revolving around the sun in a different direction, causing all sorts of gravitational shifts and oddities. So in the past I would just say, hey I don't want to be a slave to some shifts in the universe, what ...can I not go down to the grocery store after 10pm due to the new moon. It is all a little too much for my sensibilities or lack of them.

However, who am I to brush this aside too easily? Considering I live in the 1 percent reality of the 5 senses, I am extremely limited, this is a given. In the 99 percent, this change in the energy of the universe is a given and not a big deal on the larger scale. If I don't recognize it in any shape or form, do I give the dark energy a larger theater to operate in my dramatic world. I think I do.

Yesterday was a strange day. Mercury was working on my head. I had a meeting with an interesting film writer/producer and poet downtown. In the morning however I had to take the beagle I have been minding for 3 weeks for her daily walk in the ravine.

After an hour in the ravine, I realized I had lost the leash. How was I going to get the dog home and go to the meeting. Perhaps carry her through traffic, no. Crisis. Narrowly averted by calling my dog loving aunt who brought over an extra leash.

After meeting with this woman, we were getting along well so I suggested a move to Kensington market for lunch on me. She seemed pleased..As I was in the middle of a conversation on the merits of French Film directors or something, I look up and there comes my ex girlfriend up the stairs in the back. I am confused. I break off the conversation, I excuse myself, the woman looks at me like....he seemed sane for the last hour...now what....I finally get up the nerve to approach my ex who is sitting with a friend. I poke her,(why poke anyone) she turns...strangely I read her face which is slightly uncomfortable, mercury at work...and I just grunt something out and go back to my table. I am totally disoriented and being flooded with adreneline directly into my stomach area. What is wrong with me. You are bound to meet somebody you don't expect to in a city of two million people after 4 months of not seeing their pretty little face. No...It's outside the 1 percent, it's synchrodestiny stuff and Mercury is playing with my head. I think I get it. My new friend still seems to be talking to me so, is it all in my mind?

Any moral to the story? Just that I really have no answers but need to be more proactive so I can witness these little moments more often and just roll with them!

Synchrodestiny and Soul Mates

I am reading two books at the same time right now. "The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire" by Deepak Chopra and "The Power To Change Everything" by Yehuda Berg. Pretty heady spiritual stuff but they do seem to be fitting into my head and soul in a convenient and yet implausible type of way.

The Chopra book is talking about being able to harness the power of coincidences to
your advantage. He talks about Quantum leaps and experiments such as the famous one where a man was in an isolated laboratory room, and when he was sexually aroused his spermatozoa isolated in a room many yards away started to react, just as energy will react at exactly the same time millions of miles across the universe. Why do inventors suddenly create a world changing invention within hours of each other at different locations around the world....because of the collective, non-local mind.

The Berg book talks about the similarities at the core between all the major religions on earth and how we are all connected. Nothing outside of us will change in terms of environment and war and crime etc...nothing outside of us will change until each of us change ourselves on an individual level and get rid of our egos and restrict our selfish desires, and learn how to share without expecting a pat on the back.

Deep stuff, but something that is very needed in my life. I need to know that my actions do effect other people. Cause and effect. If I put out the energy of love and forgiveness and sharing, I can expect better and more honest results in return. I can't force anybody to accept my embrace, help and affection though, unless they are ready. I respect other people's boundaries and I know that with the right intention, it will work out in the long run. I am seeing this daily, minute by minute. It is far from being easy and flowing yet, however, I am working on it. Meditation is a big factor in this development, and I would be lying if I said I was good at it. I am a beginner at quieting my mind and asking for help.

I could talk about some amazing changes in thinking and in a specific relationship that are taking place but I don't want to verbalize it before the real manifestation. In other words, and to not use the buzz words, I don't want to jinx anything!

The best friend

Earth hour was observed by so few that it made me think that people of my generation are so caught up in there ego's, and their need to acquire more stuff.........that we have a massive problem that will never change unless there is a radical natural disaster or spirituality is somehow embraced by the masses.

Patchouli and moving on

New apartment gives me a sense of comfort as well as did the patchouli soap a friend gave me.Hallways still resemble scenes from the Shining and when I said to the landlord "nice day" and it was a gorgeous day, he replied "what so nice about it", which is not a good thing. New home front is good. Interesting people walking around, all though I may just be too damn old too connect with any of them, I can't stop them in the street anyway. There is always the coffee shop but nobody talks to anybody they don't know in this city. Strange,they used to call it Toronto the good.

Going forward with placing an ad to help my friend in Quebec recruit people for his wonderful detox center in the mountains. Writing this film, thinking about teaching children again, as well as taking a course on editing.. But still falling apart. Missing this old girlfriend still and the person that I thought would be spending time with me more went back to Slovakia. Hey, life is not always like a bowl of cherries or patchouli. Talking to a couple of old old friends, this is great, but slightly dangerous. I folded with a straight flush when my father looked into my eyes and that kind of says it all.
